Biography
Steven Fulop was born in Edison, New Jersey in 1977 to a Romanian-Jewish family, and he often worked at his family's Newark deli as a youth. He served in the US Marine Corps from 2002 to 2006, serving in the Iraq War as a corporal in the engineers. After his military service, he returned to working for Goldman Sachs and later for Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. From 2005 to 2013, he served on the Jersey City Council, representing Ward E. In 2013, he was elected Mayor, and he sought to make the city safer, to transform local government, to expand programs and services, to stabilize taxes, and to make Jersey City the prime destination for families moving out of New York City. On 8 May 2018, he became controversial for announcing the removal of a Katyn massacre memorial at Exchange Place and its replacement with a public park, as well as for his Twitter insults directed at the Polish Marshal of the Senate Stanislaw Karczewski, whom he claimed was a "white nationalist" and "anti-Semite".
